Battle Report #4 - Easter Egg Hunt - Page 3

The next few turns saw most of the deepstrikers coming in, although the Tau were seriously delayed until turn 4. The Nids came first with a nasty Carnifex, but the Eldar dealt swiftly and mercilessly with it. Not sure exactly how they killed it since I don't know their Codex but the Tyranid player was nonplussed.

Of course the Nids had more deepstrikers, and I got stuck with it this time, a big ugly Trygon that was intent on dining on my Chaos Space marines. The Hive Tyrant also jumped into the fray and I had nothing to contend with it since my Plague Princess was still tied up with Striking Scorpions.

I sent in my Raptors but they scattered deep into the fray, positioning themselves smack dab between the Eldar grav tank, an angry swarm of gaunts + a Tervigon intent on delivering some Easter eggs, and a Tau firing squad. It wasn't pretty but at least their suffering was minimal.
